Jazz, a type of music, is one of the art forms. It started in the United States. Black Americans, who sang and played the music of their homeland, created jazz.
Jazz is a mixture of African music, work songs, slave songs and religious(宗教的) music. Improvisation(即興表演) is an important part of jazz. This is why a jazz song might sound a little different every time it is played.
Many jazz bands appeared in the late 1800s. They played jazz in bars and clubs in many towns and cities, especially in New Orleans. New Orleans is an international city and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to enjoy jazz.
Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s, jazz was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s, you could listen to jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls. Today, people from all over the world play jazz.
